bongos beach bar & grille

This is a nice spot for a drink and or dinner too. The food is good, the clam chowder was off the charts. Full of clams, thick and creamy, oh so good. Typical bar drinks and and okay beer selection. This spot offers a great sunset view. The desserts chocolate cake and the raspberry cheesecake were just okay...I wouldn't order them again.

This is a pretty spot. Nice deck with typical blender drink fare. Beer selection so-so. Nice seafood appetizers. Lots of weddings right off the patio if that entertains you. Really cool sunset spot.

My friends and I had a fabulous girls night out last night at Bongo's beach bar at the Grand Plaza hotel on St. Pete Beach. Our waitress, Tatiana, was the absolute best waitress! She was so attentive, super friendly and provided quick service to our group. Can't wait to go back to Bongo's and enjoy their excellent food, drinks and great service!!! Amazing location right on the beach. Check it out, you will not be disappointed!

Eat here ever time we visit St. Pete Beach . Great food and drinks ! Menu selection for everyone in family. My teens love it here. Music is played live which creates incredible beach atmosphere . Fish tacos are D-lish. Fitters are yummy , please have chef come up with a dipping sauce though.

Stayed at Grand Plaza Beachfront Resort and Conference Center on December 16, arriving after 7:00 pm. To our delight, the hotel has one of the best casual beach bar/restaurants - Bongo's. Food was delicious and fair priced and you literally sit at tables on the sand. Lovely atmosphere, great cocktails, outdoor heaters and firepits plus live acoustic guitar. Made a repeat visit to Bongo's after a beautiful walk on St. Pete beach. Would highly recommend.

This was the first place we found when we arrived on the beach - late. They had heaters everywhere. We stopped back the next day for the live music in the afternoon. The drinks were great and so was the staff. We went back everyday - walking from the beach in our swimsuits just to see who was playing. Loved this place. Good food and drinks. A must.

We stopped on our way back to Tampa to find the service excellent, and the burgers quite good. I loved eating with my feet in the sand while gazing at the fabulous ocean view!

We went after reading about this place online and were very pleased we visited and will definitely return before the end of our holiday! The food was brilliant and the setting on the beach was lovely! The live music was very very good and the atmosphere was relaxed and warm. It literally was a perfect evening meal!

If your definition of a beach restaurant is you are served while your feet are in the sand, this has to be the nicest beach bar/grill in Pinellas county (at least the most adult feeling). Great for adults with kids as they can play in the sand. Plenty of umbrellas and the service is good. Also has. Nice area with lounge seats and live music on weekends. Well known locals destination for watching a sunset. Food was just average, though reasonably priced. Domestic beer only served in plastic cups ($4). Menu is almost exclusively sandwiches with fries or cole slaw (burger, chicken, pulled pork, etc) all of which are in the $11 range. Fish tacos were pretty good. Service was very attentive. Definitely a good place to bring folks from out of town or to meet friends. Nice up-tick in setting and food compared to other beach bar/grill places, but it would certainly be nice to have a genuinely nice place open up on the sand.

we sat down to eat at their beach tables and were greeted quickly. food was delish and portions were good. bar looked like it had a fun atmosphere with decent amount of seating. prices were reasonable.

The view was amazing, we watched the sunset. The food was ok, we both ordered clam chowder and it came out almost cold. If your looking for a great view and atmosphere with good live music, this is the place. If your looking for good food-don't go.

When you sit there on the beach with your feet in the sand, it's as if you are in the Caribbean somewhere. The setting is amazing. The food needs some passion to match this beautiful setting. We'll try it again and hope we love it!

Loved the atmosphere, food was decent, entertainment was good, staff was very friendly. Highly recommend.

Great place. The entertainment is great. They even give out free shooters at sunset. All is very nice. The food is really good as well.

Sat right on the beach, had the fish tacos, they were fantastic!We haven't had a bad meal at Bongo's!
